Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon
/
Napa Valley, Mount Veeder
Tasting Notes

Nestled high on the ridgeline of the Mayacamas mountain range, our Mount Veeder estate is known as a source for wines of rich texture and mouth-filling flavor. Upon first sip, the 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is fruit forward with blackberry, and boysenberry notes intertwined with a bouquet of allspice, cardamom and black tea. On the finish, savory hints of cassis, tobacco and olive surf gracefully on the palate and are rounded out by an inviting bed of rich but supple tannins.

Noteworthy Highlights
94 Points
“Very expressive, with zesty anise and apple wood mixed with sassafras and sweet bay leaf flavors, all backed by a dense, polished core of blackberry and açaí berry fruit. Features a hint of tar that adds spine and textural contrast to the finish. Big all around, but everything is well-proportioned. Best from 2023 through.”

“Blueberries, stewed blackberries, chocolate, espresso, dried herbs and sweet tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, muscular tannins. Compact and fragrant with a firm finish. Try after 2023.” 93 Points: Outstanding

“Hints of sage and bay accent cherry and cassis notes on the nose of Brandlin's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to full-bodied, firm and layered with dusty tannins, it's a classically built mountain Cab that could use a few years in the cellar—or a massive hunk of rare beef.”
